4-H’ers thankful for support
The county commissioners are personally acquainted with most, if not all, of the Delta County 4-H Council officers who paid an annual courtesy call on Monday to say, “Thank you for your support!” The commissioners each received a handsome desk set and coffee mug as a token of appreciation. A brief adjournment of the bi-monthly commissioners proceedings gave opportunity to enjoy some refreshments and to get caught up on a little neighborhood news. Present for the event with commissioners Bruce Hovde, Olen Lund, and Doug Atchley were 4-H County Council officers and adult advisors Mackenzie Katzdorn, vice president; Tyler Simpson, co-president; Tyrell Clock, co-president; Tess Gore, historian; Grady Simpson, treasurer; Trenton Carr, historian; Tiffany Clock, secretary; Natalie Anderson, reporter; leader/advisors Heidi Simpson and Chandra Carr, and Jackie Goza, extension agent.
